WIEGO Monitoring, Learning and Evaluation Toolkit - Tool 8 - How to Conduct an Online Participatory Outcomes Evaluation Workshop

Sep 12, 2026

WIEGO Tool 8 guides facilitators in categorizing and analysing outcomes already harvested with informal workers through Tool 7, then using the resulting patterns in a second online participatory outcomes evaluation workshop. The workshop supports participants to interpret quantitative outcome patterns, examine outcome chains and negative outcomes, and reflect on significance across when, where, and who changed what. It concludes with strategic learning, documentation of findings, and planning questions for continuous improvement.

FAQs

What is the purpose of Tool 8 in the WIEGO MLE toolkit series?

Tool 8 helps participants categorize and analyse outcomes harvested with informal workers in an online workshop, then use the analysis to discuss achievements, challenges, and strategy with the same participants.

How does Tool 8 relate to Tool 7?

Tool 7 supports participants to harvest outcomes, and Tool 8 builds on those harvested outcomes by first categorizing and analysing them, then facilitating a second online workshop to interpret findings and implications.

What topics does the Tool 8 agenda include during the online workshop?

The agenda covers preparing for the workshop, generating quantitative patterns, group interpretation of outcomes and their strategic implications, outcome chains in plenary, negative outcomes, and closing with consolidation and documentation of findings.

How are the workshop outputs used for strategic learning and next steps?

Participants interpret patterns and significance, draw conclusions, and consolidate decisions and documented findings, supported by planning and evaluation learning questions to inform improvements to strategies and potentially to the original training workshop.
